Living Communion – Parish Councils

Living Communion: Vision and Practice for Parish Pastoral Councils in Ireland Today

In the summer of 2010 a task group was set up by the Council for Pastoral Renewal and Adult Faith Development to revise the 2007 document – Parish Pastoral Councils, a Framework for Developing Diocesan Norms and Parish Guidelines

The task group sought as many impressions and responses as possible from the diocesan personnel and focus groups including representatives from parish pastoral councils both north and south of the country. Since the launch of Share the Good News, National Directory for Catechesis in Ireland, many of the participants were also keen to see prayers, reflections, group discussion topics, and ‘to do’ boxes (used in the Directory) mirrored in the revised parish pastoral council document.

The revised document is called Living Communion: Vision and Practice for Parish Pastoral Councils in Ireland Today.
